Squidward Tentacles meme format. Top panel shows Squidward looking happy while setting up a beach chair, with the text 'WANT TO CONTRIBUTE TO AN OPEN SOURCE PROJECT I USE AND APPRECIATE'. Bottom panel shows Squidward looking sad and disappointed, folding up the chair and going back inside a building, with the text 'WRITTEN IN JS'.

i wish a more performing language would have this type system. the only other ones I know are Rust which is a bit strict and slow to dev on, and Haskell which is too much.

    Fully agree.

    I hear good things about OCaml? Anyone tried that?

    I asked chatgpt for a few languages with a good typesystem and it suggested ocaml among other (scala, rust, haskell, f#)

    Then asked for a 100 line ocaml REST API example with a popular framework and db lib.. and it looks mostly like Haskell.

    If it looks mostly like Haskell but has better tooling, I'm in. I have yet to manage to successfully set up a Haskell environment on my own PC. 😅 I am obviously missing something.
